Doesn't matter because you still go left to right no matter what

Doesn't matter if you go left to right, right or left, middle to left to right whatever as far as addition & subtraction (which is just addition) are concerned.
You come up with the same answer regardless.

**Colenzo** · 2011-01-14 08:32

you could look at it like 5 + -3 + 2 = 4

If you were to follow straight PEMDAS; taking it literally as addition before subtraction, you'd add the 3 and the 2 before anything, cuz A is first. So you end up with 5-5, which is 0, which is what I think is happening

If you were to follow PEMDAS the way it was intended; parentheses, exponents, multiplication or division, addition or subtraction; you would follow the problem left to right, and not the acronym. So you get 2 + 2.

At least that is how I am understanding people getting 0 and being retarded? I don't know, I think I am being trolled unintentionally by half retards and half trolls in that thread.

That's how they are getting it but that ignores the fact that it's a negative 3. It should be as Colenzo just posted.

I am trying to figure out the retards, not the math damnit.

I answered your question too, dumbass!

**Colenzo** · 2011-01-14 08:35

-3 + 5 + 2 = 4
2 + -3 + 5 = 4
5 + 2 + -3 = 4
-3 + 2 + 5 = 4

umadbro?

**Rocl** · 2011-01-14 08:36

woah woah woah Domon, not need for names, I was just clarifying for posterity, damnit.

**Rocl** · 2011-01-14 08:36

**Kiarax** · 2011-01-14 08:37

Holy fuck the Canadians are remaking our God awful shows now too? That's just terrible.

**Kiarax** · 2011-01-14 08:38

HOW DID THAT GET IN THE WRONG THREAD.

**Rocl** · 2011-01-14 08:38

Magic, damnit.

**Chun Liroy** · 2011-01-14 08:45

**Chun Liroy** · 2011-01-14 08:47
